The Dying Californian.

Lay up nearer, brother, nearer, for my lin1bs
are growing cold;
And thy presence secmcth dcarcr, when thy
arms around me fold,
| am dying, BROTHER dying; soon you'll miss
me in your berth,
For my form will soon bc lying meath the
oceans briny surf.
iIearkcn to me, brother, hearkcn; have
something would say;
Fer the veil my vision darkcn, and | &c from
hence away.
l am going, surely going; but my hope IN
God is strong;
| am willing, brother, knowing that He
docth nothing wrong.
Tell my father when you greet him, that in
death prayed for him
Prayed that may one day meet in a world
that's free from sin.
Tell my mothcr-God assist her, now that
sue is growing old
Say her child would glad have kissed her
when his lips grew pale and cold.
Listen, brother, catch cnch whisper; It's my
wife speak of now;
Tell, oh tell her that love her, whilst the
fever burnt my brow.
Tell her, brothcr--closcly listen don't tor
get single word
That in death my eyes did "listcn with the
tears her memory stirred.
Tell her she must kiss my children, like the
kiss last impressed ; ..I
Hold them rs when last held them, folded
closely to my. breast.
Give them early to their maker, putting all
her trust in God
And He never will forsNkc her, for he said so
in His Word.
Oh my children Heaven bless them ; they
are all my life to me:
Would could once more calc5s them, ere
sink beneath tie sea.
Twas for them crossed the ocean; what
my hopes were III not tell;
But have gained an orphans portion, yet
lie doeth all things well
Tell my sisters | remember every kindly
parting word,
And my heart has been kcN TENDER by tho
thoughts their memory stirred. ,,
Tell them never reached the haven, where
sought the precious dust
But ! have. gained Il port called Heaven
where the gold will never rust.
Tree them TO secure an entrance, for they'll
find their brother their;
Faith in Jesus, and repentance, will secure
for each share. o. a.f
lIark | hear my Savior speaking It's,
know his voice so well;
When am gone, oh don't be weeping

ladies Protective Associations.

The following is a copy Of note
Hound on North Market street near Pat
rick last evening and addressed to "W.
Il, E." by which it is assumed the
young ladies of the city have formed Il
Mutual Protective Association. At the
head of the note the reader is informed
the following resolutions were passed
at a recent meeting of the association:
The man who drinks the red, red wine
Shall never glue his lips to mine
The man who chcws the navy plug
Will never get from me hug
Who smokes, or drinks, or cuts deck
Shall never hug me round the neck
The man who gurglea lager beer
Whispers no sweet things in my. car.
If aught but water you ever taste
No arm will circle round my waist
If YOU drink wine or other slop
Or 'gainst the lamp post ever prop
Or ever smoke a cigarette
No squeeze from me you'll ever get.

Repeatedly has it been stated by
travellers from Europe and correspon-
dents of the continental press that
nowhere else in the world would the
people submit to the economic, in
dignities infilted upon the American
public.
Strange it is that the descendants OF
the heroes, who taking as basis the
principle "no taxation without repres-
entation," established new nation
strange that people who boast 80 much
of their unique place among the govern
ments of the world should submit to

Northern Pacific Lands.

From the Pioneer Press.
On the 2lst of this month the thirty
days notice of revocation Of the order
withdrawing the Northern Pacific lands
from settlement expire, and on that
date, according to the ruling of the de-
partment, the land will be open to set
tlement. On this exact date tho lands
in the Fargo district will be subject to
filing and within few days the notices
on all lands in the indemnity belt OF the
road will expire. The Northern Pacific
company will contest in tho courts every
case in which claims are fled on the
lands and Counsel Mcknight is now
preparing brief on the case. He will,
before that date apply to Judge Nelson,
sitting for Judge Brewer, of the United
States circuit court, for temporary in
junction restraining all parties from
fling claims on the company's selected
lands. The recent order of the secreta-
ry of the interior opening these lands to
settlement is Of vast importance to the
people of the Northwest. The lists OF
selections fled by the railroad company
were accepted by the registers and re.
ceivers of the different land Offices, but
have never been accepted by the gov
ernment. The grists of the situation is
in a nutshell Commissioner Drum
nond, in 1871, ruled that there was a
second indemnity belt, and this has
never been questioned until the present
time The railroad company, accepted
the order, built the road under it and
has sold 500, GOO acres Of land. Twenty
villages in Wisconsin and Dakota are
located on this land, more than 10000
people live on it, and more than 5000,
900 in improvements have been made.
Now the title Of these lands is brought
into question, although the Northern
Pacific has every confidence of winning
the case in the end. The contest in
every individual case of filing on these
LANDS will be triangular one, involving
the jumper, the purchaser from the
company, and the railroad company.
This is by reason Of the Spooner Law
Of last spring, under which If the com.
pany should lose the suits the purchaser
would have the first opportunity to buy
the land from the government at $l.2s
per acre. The territory affected runa
from Ashland, Wis, along the line q
the road to Idaho. Mr.. McNaugh1
thinks that the practical acceptance q
the order Of 1871 for fifteen yoars b.
both the railroad company and the pub
lie it cannot be brought in question, ant

tent Of its power il the courts.

The advertising habits and peculiari-
ties of different persons and concerns
are quite a study in themselves. One
man will not advertise because he is not
doing business enough, while another
will not advertise because he is doing
too much business. Either case implies
that if the situation was reversed he
would advertise literally. A third per-
son will not advertise at all, while a
fourth advertises all the time; fifth nd .
vertises gingerly, while sixth adver-
tises literally but spasmodically.
The inquiry naturally arises, what
causes the differences of opinion in &
matter Of common business. Is it be.
cause of the nature of the business or
because the advertiser has not fully
learned what nature of advertisement
and what medium is best for his pur-
pose? It must undoubtedly be the lat
ter, for lot any one bring up in his
mind the names of persons promine mt
in any business and he will find that
they are the names which he has seen
most in print. More especially is this
the case if the names are the names of
of those with whom he is not personally
acquainted. If the person analyses this
little further he will find that the "a.
| tio of prominence in his own mind is in
| direct proportion to the number oil
times he has seen the name in connec.
ton with the business The men who
have become prominent in this manner
recognize the situation and many Of
them have given expression to it in
various ways.

SENATOR STANFORD TALKS.


He tells the CaliforniaHs Of the Glorious
Future Of Warrington Territory.
SAN Francisco, Sept. Ex-senator
Stanford, who has just returned from
Oregon and Washington, said in an in
terview to-day: al most certainly
think all that vast northern region has
before it a great future. The people
there are enterprising and they are in
great glee over the fact that our road
is about completed. Hitherto they
have been cut off from connections
with the rest of the United States, but
this trunk road, which will tap all 9TH
er arteries of travel will do much to-
ward building up the country. They
claim, and justly too, that they have
hitherto been under great disadvanta-
ges, but this is all changed now, and
Oregon and Washington will enter up
on new era of prosperity. OF our re-
ception there I cannot speak too high
ly. They welcomed us with open arms
and there was not q place which did
not extend to us most generous hospi-
tality, but we were too busy to partake
of all the enjoyments that they offered

How California Was Saved.

General Fremont, in an interview in
the Boston Herald, tells this story of
how California was prevented from be-
coming an English colony:
"It is away back, early in the 4Os,
that | considered that problem, and
when the historian, George Bancroft,
was Secretary OF the Navy. l had fire.
quent consultations with him and
with Senator Benton, and it was un-
derstood that I was to prevent the
English from anticipating us in secur-
ing that country. Off the coast of
California the British fleet was closely
watching our fleet, and in 1916, three
years before the famous 49ers' pos
sessed the land, / organized band of
picked, hardy men, and soon weeded
out every man that was not thorough
ly reliable. They would follow me
anywhere. l moved down to Monte
rey and camped there. For while
was tolerated, but soon, through Brit
ish intrigue, the Government of Mex
leo ordered its military force to drive
me out. l fortified, and, knowing the
secret understanding with high Off
Gals at Washington, was inclined to
hold my ground, but they came on in
such numbers and got me in such
hot place, and when the wind blew
down my flag I said, Boys, guess we
will accept this as an omen that we
are to get out of this and so we re-
treated up toward the north. l was
soon overtaken by Government
agent, and, encouraged by what he
communicated, 1 instantly turned.
Though hindered by some of the
worst Indians on that coast, hurried
back, going right back into the dis
puted country. When got down as
far as Monterey, but away inland, l
raised the American flag and took
possession of California for the United
States. Commander Sloat sailed into
the harbor of Monterey, and hearing
that had planted the American flag
near him he raised it over Monterey,
supposing that l had acted by express
orders of the Government. Admiral
Seymour coming into Monterey in
formed Commodore Sloat of the real
condition of things, and said to him
that in three days the English would
have had their flags over Monterey if
they had not been anticipated. The
commodore, fearing censurc, gave up
his command on the coast, but the
deed was done, and our hold ON Cali
fornia became permanent"
